• Partner closely with Marketing leadership across Demand Generation and Customer Marketing to plan and execute campaign operations, from setup and segmentation through funnel measurement, and ensure systems and processes support their strategy
• Own data governance and hygiene across the Martech stack, including field mapping, deduplication, and consent/compliance (e.g., GDPR), to protect data integrity across systems
• Establish and enforce shared definitions and standards (e.g., MQL, SQL, funnel stages) across Marketing and Sales, partnering with the Analytics team to build and maintain the reporting and dashboards that track them
• Own Sales–Marketing alignment on definitions, SLAs, and lead hand-off processes
• Own source tracking, lead routing, and attribution for the indirect channel, including partner portal integration and partner lead flow
• Ensure alignment and consistent measurement across direct and indirect (partner) go-to-market motions
• Lead and develop the Marketing Operations team, building a scalable, high-performing operating function within Revenue Operations
• Partner cross-functionally with Marketing (Demand Generation and Customer Marketing), Sales, Channel, Analytics, IT and Legal teams to evaluate, implement, and optimize Martech systems and integrations

Qualifications:

• 8–12+ years of experience in Marketing Operations or Martech roles in a B2B or SaaS environment
• Deep, hands-on expertise with Marketo and Salesforce and a demonstrated track record of optimizing a Martech stack for scale and reliability
• Experience identifying and implementing AI and automation solutions within marketing or RevOps systems (e.g., AI-driven lead scoring, workflow automation)
